My friend Amber came to visit; she is a sweetheart. Therefore, I decided to make her something that she probably doesn’t eat weekly and came up with my “Heart Coconut Flan”. I guess I scored, since she was happy about it. Approximate Prep and Cooking Time: One hour and ten minutes Approximate Cost: $7.53 or .94 per serving Servings: 8 Ingredients 1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk (.99) 1 can condensed milk ($1.45) 1 (13.5) can of Goya Coconut Milk ($1.99)) 1 tbsp. Coconut Liquor (.90) 1 tbsp. Vanilla (.90) 5 whole eggs (.80) 1 cup of white sugar for the caramel (.50) Directions Preheat the oven at 350 degrees. Add the sugar to a skillet on med high until it melts and turn to caramel. (Don’t burn it) Carefully, pour the caramel into a mold of your choice, set aside. Place the mold inside a larger mold, pour hot water and place the caramel mold in the middle. Set aside. In a blender, add all the ingredients in the order they are listed and blend. Add the blender mixture into the caramelized mold. Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour. Check for doneness in the middle. An inserted toothpick must come out clean. The flan will jiggle. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. To plate it, place a larger plate over the flan mold and making sure the flan is completely detached from the sides, carefully turn it upside down to remove from the mold. HACK: Why not use berries to garnish? They are colorful and delicious!
